    I waited in a 40000 person queue to play overwatch, got an error, waited in another 30000 person queue, finally got in. Then my controller began to drift so I went to the settings to recalibrate it. Got disconnected from the game, back to the infinite queue...

    Overwatch 2 opens with a generic *** screen and a ddos attack. You just know its going to be ***.

    Man why does everyone have such a hateboner for Blizzard that they DDOS Overwatch 2 for literal hours on-end. Holy **** for the love of **** let me try the new game I've been excited for.

    Despite the server error messages I received after trying to load into my game, Overwatch 2 is promising!

    For who is trying to play Overwatch 2, i really do recommend you change the battlenet region to Asia, the queue is way shorter there and i don't really think i had high ping, asked in my match after login and people said that we were not in Asia. lmk if it work, maybe is a bypass

    @SpectreBull I also see that Overwatch 2 did get hit with DDoS attacks *checks notes* only two hours after the game launched! I find it funny because Blizzard shut off Overwatch for a whole day to prep their servers for the sequel...

    @Blizzard_Ent what is your customer service number because I purchase Overwatch 2: watchpoint pack and it still trying to make me pay for it

    dam bro (@FurryPretty) reported

    Come on overwatch, I’ve been with you for 5 years now and I’ve never seen anything like this. I know you’re working hard but my issue is that I was kicked out of the queue because you wanted sms and now I have to queue again. UNBELIEVABLE #Overwatch2

  • AetheldredB

    Anyone else having problems with extreme lag in Overwatch 2?? Waited hours to get in 😭 #Overwatch2

  • TheTreLifestyle
    Invader Him (@TheTreLifestyle) reported

    @corykins From what they’re saying, there was a DDOS attack that they’re sorting out. But I think the facts that overwatch was love just a couple hours before and people were on, including new players coming the servers probably can’t handle it right now.

  • SheepEddie
    This is a real freakin' embarrassment - Scout (@SheepEddie) reported

    @HoshizoraOW They're just finding ANY excuse to **** on the game even if it makes zero sense 😭😭 like so many valid reasons to dislike Overwatch and you go for the most unimportant non issue ever??? Brah

    @BlizzardCS @_Samurai_2077_ So I’ve never done anything wrong when playing, and because of a service I choose I’m being punished ? I spend over $500 on your game and other people have too, I’ve been playing this game since overwatch 1 1000 of hours.
